61 | Identifying Emotions: The Step-by-S...

LaToya Edwards | Life Coaching and Emotional Resilience Coaching for Women
About this episode

Have you ever sat down to journal your feelings… and felt completely stuck? Like you know you’re feeling something, but you can’t quite name it? You’re not alone — identifying emotions can feel surprisingly hard, especially when you’re just starting your emotional healing journey.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why it’s so common to feel stuck, simple ways to start recognizing what’s really going on inside, and how to stay encouraged when the work feels heavier (and messier) than you expected.

Learning how to identify and journal your feelings is a skill — and like any skill, it gets easier with practice. Emotional healing and resilience are built one small step at a time. If you're ready to make journaling your feelings feel more doable (and less overwhelming), this conversation will give you the support, encouragement, and practical tips you need to keep moving forward.
